San Diego, CA–The Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners has consented to the assignment and assumption of a lease held by Fish Market Restaurants, Incorporated to The Brigantine, Incorporated, a local, family-owned business.
Fish Market operates two locations: one on the San Diego Bay waterfront on North Harbor Drive, which is in the Port’s jurisdiction, and the other in Solana Beach. The Fish Market has negotiated the sale of its brand to Brigantine, which intends to continue operating the restaurants as The Fish Market.
“The Brigantine is a trusted partner that has done an excellent job of transforming Port restaurant properties into incredible dining destinations for locals and visitors alike,” said Chair Danielle Moore, Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners. “As they assume operations for The Fish Market restaurant at its premier location on our waterfront, we look forward to the Morton family bringing their expertise to a longtime favorite dining establishment on San Diego Bay and we thank The Fish Market for its decades of success.”
Brigantine is a family-owned business that has been developing and operating restaurants in San Diego County since 1969. It currently operates 20 restaurants, including several within the Port’s jurisdiction.
“The Fish Market Family is proud of our 40-year history of serving generations of San Diegans,” said Tom Wilson, director, of The Fish Market Restaurants, Inc. “We could not be more pleased to have the Morton Family continue that tradition.”
The Fish Market is a family-owned brand, and they plan to carry on the legacy of what the Duckett and Wilson families have built.
